Donald Trump finally admitted that Barack Obama was born in The United States after 5 years of racist denials. He said he believes President Barack Obama was born in the United States. In his own words: “President Obama was born in the United States, period.” Trump added that “Hillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it,” However, this statement of admittance did not come until Obama decided to release his birth certificate which shows he was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A., to the general public.

Barack Obama’s birth certificate

In an attempt to delegitimize the nation’s first black president, Trump energetically fueled the false conspiracy theory that Obama was born overseas since 2011. Up till now, Trump did not apologise to Obama despite being urged by prominent people to do so. In a series of tweets, Trump wrote:

1. “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud.”

2. “Via @BreitbartFeed–why doesn’t @BarackObama release his original book proposal which says he was born in Kenya?”

3. “How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived”

An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama‘s birth certificate is a fraud.
